The three pilot hubs are working to drive investment and extend the benefits of Cardiff’s thriving creative industries across the Cardiff Capital Region (CCR).

Since this work launched in July, each of the local authorities have been working to deliver their project plans, map local creatives and host engagement and networking events. 

Creative Industries Cluster Hubs Coordinator, Åsa Malmsten, said: 

The Cluster Hubs have developed an exciting programme of events, workshops and masterclasses, that are now being delivered across Newport, Monmouthshire and Rhondda Cynon Taf.  We are collaborating and partnering with creative businesses and freelancers to map areas of activity and build strong networks and hubs. We are covering a lot of ground in a short space of time, and I am looking forward to seeing this amazing work unfold and develop.
